Epoxidation interaction diagram

Chloromethoxycarbene ( CC10CH3), 115 a-Chloro-o-methylacetophenone, 300 m-Chloroperbenzoic acid epoxidation by, 102 JV-Chloropyridine, 287 interaction diagram, 287 SHMO, 287... 

Toxicity can occur because, unfortunately, some metabolites are, unlike benzoic acid, more toxic than the chemical that enters the body. Enzymes can cause certain changes in molecular arrangements that introduce groupings of atoms that can interact with components of cells in highly damaging ways. The industrial chemical bromobenzene can be converted in the liver to a metabolite called bromobenzene epoxide, as depicted in the diagram.
